MILITARY PROWESs. THE BOND
OF UNION. THE NEGRO THE COR
NER STONE OF THE REBELLION.

The Metropolitan A. NJ E. church
was filled to overhowing Tuesday
eveningon the event of Gen. Grants
sixty fifth anniversary. Never was
there more patriotic feeling, in
spring lovers of freedom than
filed the hearts Ofthat immense
audience who witnessed the pro-
cedings of O. p. Morton Post G..
A. r. on this occasion. a grander
civic and military display is rare
ly seen, men who had heard the
chorus of battle in peals from the
throats of cannon, men who had
saved their country in the hour Of
its peril, men who with crutch and
cane bore the evidences Of loyalty
all were there.
We heard the quick report Of
sharp-shOOters gun; we saw the
camp fires blazing; we smoked
with the soldier the pipe of 81, we
saw our comrades pierced with
bayonets; all for the sake of liber-
ty. The reveille was sounded and
it carried us back a score of years,
what a pleasurable feeling it must
be to a soldier to hear recOunted
the deeds of battle, to be carried
back to the time when man could
be truly said to be a defender OF
his county.
The programme was elegantly
filed Capt. and master Bliss beat
the rercille. The audience sang the
"colored volunteer" and "Sher
man marching to Georgia" 1t was
said that the Greeks in going tC
battle sang the "pean' and every
soldier redoubled his courage, Ger
tainly the battle hymns of Ameri
ca are calculated to breathe into
the souls of men the same feeling
of daring as inspired the warlike
| Greeks.

The Grant Relics and Souvenirs Placed on
Public Exhibition.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Grant relics.
which have been for several months safely
guarded in one of the private rooms Of the
National Museum, are now being placed on pub
lie exhibition. Yesterday two handsome plush
lined cases. filled with articles from the colec-
tion were placed in the north hall of the mu-
scum. near the main entrance They contained
the presentation swords, goldheaded canes,
caskets. medallions. and many other costly and
elegant articles presented by different people at
different times to General Grant Many of
these articles souvenirs of his trip around
the world. There is a splendid collection of
Japanese coins, one series of seven pieces, old
Japanese gold coins of huge size, being valued
at So, 0O0. There are also invitation cards, menu
cards, and reminders Of entertainments given in
his honor, engrossed on gold plates. One invita-
tion card. to a masked ball given at San Fran
cisco upon General Grants arrival at that city
on his return from his famous tour is engraved
on solid gold. and was inclosed in silver enve-
lope, with the address engraved upon it. Upon
the riehthand corner is two-cent stamp, and
in the left the usual "If not delivered in ten
days return to-" etc. The articles shown, be-
sides their historical interest, are of great it,

NATURAL GAS.


Probability that the Geological Survey Will
Make a Scientific Inquiry.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WAsHISGToN. April 29-There is talk at the
headquarters of the Geological Survey of inves-
tigatng the supply and use and means of saving
the natural gas discovered in portions Of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The investigation,
if made. is to be scientific in the extreme, con-
Quoted BIZ the best biologists of the corps. and
the purpose will be to recommend to Congress
something regarding the utility and economy of
this valuable fuel and illuminating substance.
There have been reports made to Congress on
coal. petroleum. minerals, earthquakes, artesan
wells, auietng the waters with OIL and almost
everything else imaginable, but steps have
been taken to investigate the most useful dis
covery, natural gas 1t is not likely that an
inexperienced corps will be sent from Washing

interesting and valuable matter will be the re-

shipments for the season We're made just before
the 4th of April. Gould predicted that after
few week there would be as much travel and
traffic ever, and that in the end the railroads
would make money by the law. These observa-
Railroad men say that Gould has for many
months been trying to unload his railroad prop

will damage his property very materially. They
expect to see decided bull movement of the
stock market aud then to Gould unload.
Railroad men report very heavy falling off in
all parts OF the country In all KINDS OF trafflc.
The seeping-car companies are experiencing
very heavy loss. The through rates for passen-
gers were raised to conform to the local rates,
and passengers are making I'D for the losses by
riding i'll common coaches. 1t is said that some

''What are some of the most curious facts you

WELL probably the most wonderful was the
writing of Webb and Peters They wrote the
Lords Prayer and the Commandments with a
diamond in letters fine that if the whole Bible
were written, and in the same proportion, it
might be written twelve times on square inch.
This writing l have myself seen, and believe
one such slide is in the army museum at Wash

Prayer written in letters SO small that if the
whole Bible were written in the same proportion
it could be put on the half Of postal-card. 1
have also the Declaration of Independence,
the framework of which is composed of portraits
of the sgners. reduced so small by micro-pho-
Biography that to the naked eye it is no larger
than pinhead. One Of the most celebrated
uses to which the microscope has been put was
during the Franco Prussian war 1t was easy
